☕ Friday Coffee with Lisa

Are You Comfortable… or Are You Growing?

There is nothing wrong with being comfortable in your career.

The danger comes when comfort quietly turns into complacency.

You know your job.
You know the systems.
You know what is expected of you.

So you stop learning.
You stop challenging yourself.
You stop asking, “What do I need to learn next?”

And before you realise it, the experience that once made you valuable is no longer enough to keep you moving forward.

That doesn't mean you need to chase a promotion every year.

Growth can mean learning a new skill, taking on a difficult project, becoming better with technology, improving your leadership, or preparing yourself for opportunities that don't even exist in your current organisation yet.

This matters even more now. Professional development and continuous learning are increasingly being treated as essential to staying capable and future-ready, while career paths themselves are changing.

So here's your Friday coffee question:

If your career stayed exactly where it is today for the next five years, would you be happy with that?

If the answer is no, don't wait for someone else to create your next opportunity.

Start growing before you need to move.

Because the best time to prepare for your next chapter isn't when you're desperate for it.

It's while you're still comfortable.

☕ Thursday Career Conversation

“The CV Isn’t Dead. The Generic CV Is.”

AI has made applying for jobs dramatically easier — but that has created a new problem: recruiters are now dealing with huge volumes of increasingly polished applications. In South Africa, research from Robert Walters found that 41% of surveyed businesses said AI was producing too many applications, while 38% reported receiving more irrelevant applications.

So here's the uncomfortable truth:

Having a beautifully written CV isn't enough anymore.

If your CV could belong to 500 other candidates, it isn't doing enough work for you.

Recruiters want to see:

What you actually achieved
What problems you solved
What skills you can prove
What value you brought to your employer
Why you're relevant to this role

And this is becoming even more important as employers move toward skills-based hiring. Current research shows employers are placing increasing value on practical skills, problem-solving and demonstrated capability—not simply job titles and qualifications.

🔥 The KJM message

Don't use AI to make your CV sound impressive.
Use the tools available to help you communicate your real value more clearly.

Because when everyone has a polished CV...
Your evidence is what separates you.

💼 Wednesday Workplace Wisdom #5

“Would You Still Call It Fair If Nobody Knew It Was Happening?”

A 2026 South African study found that employees strongly connect transparency around pay decisions with fairness, trust and retention. Importantly, people didn't necessarily demand to know everyone's salary; they wanted to understand the principles and criteria behind decisions.

The conversation:

What happens when two people do similar work…

…but one gets the promotion?

What happens when someone receives a salary increase…

…but nobody understands why?

What happens when a high performer keeps delivering…

…while someone else seems to move ahead because of visibility, relationships or favouritism?

People notice.

And even when management thinks nobody is talking about it, employees are often quietly forming their own conclusions about whether the workplace is fair.

That's where trust starts to break.

🔥“If you can't explain WHY someone got the promotion…
can you really call the process fair?”
